Iam still hopeful that after your talks with Tukhachevsky
and the removal of Sokolnikov, things will adjust
themselves without your transference. Therefore, for the time
being, we are not notifying Smilga. Be sure to inform me in good
time and in detail by code or by telephone from Kharkov.
I consider it most important that the troops disengaged
after the capture of Odessa should not be kept on the
Dniester, but moved to the Western Front as a safeguard against
the Poles. Let me know your opinion.
